DOVER — The Dover High School Key Club recently organized and took part in a “beach cleanup” at Willand Pond in Dover.

Over the course of three hours on Saturday, May 18, Key Club members Zoe Albion, Andrew Valenti, Eric Henck, Alison Fairbairn, Haley Markos, Maggie Goodwin, Alex Roemer, club president, Matthew Palczynski, club president and Preston Massingha, an Interact Club member, took part in the event.

The workers collected which netted 18 bags of trash, 4 paper bags and one Dover recycling bin full of recyclables (including, surprisingly, a glass Gatorade bottle), and several larger items (a saw and a 1960's hubcap), along with $20 (found at the side of the road).

Special thanks is given by the Key Club to Garrison Hill Florists, who disposed of the trash.
